Time for a more thorough introduction!

Hi, I'm Olivia the sole owner and cleaner at Orpwood & Co Cleaning Services in Launceston. Orpwood is my married name and & Co was added in memory of my late twin boys. I have just turned 24.

Before starting my own business I worked as a qualified Disability Support Worker for 3 years where I found my love for cleaning. I would often have clients say having someone come in and clean was a huge weight off their shoulders. I went on to do commercial cleaning while studying a cleaning certification. I found the late nights working alone was not really for me. I was going to move to daytime domestic cleaning when the idea of starting my own business came about instead. In June 2024 I started with $150 worth of chemicals and equipment and a borrowed vacuum. Fast forward to today I have over 40 regular clients.

About me! I've been married for over 2 and a half years now to my partner who works as an Early Childhood Educator. I own a home in Launceston and have 3 cats (Millie, Frankie and Auggie) and 2 budgies (Benson and Joseph). I have 12 tattoos, I love a good home diy project, gardening and cooking. I played soccer for 10 years at Riverside Olympic and coached an under 6 and under 16 team. I'm not a big tv watcher but if I do it's always a rom com or horror movie. I'm a big coffee drinker and believe a wheel of brie by itself is an acceptable lunch. A few years ago I was diagnosed with Lupus, IBD and Celiac disease. Unfortunately these do have an impact on running my business but I do everything I can to remain open.

Sometimes running a business does get difficult and I wonder if I should throw in the towel and close. But I am always going to give it my best and run this business as well as I can. Without the wonderful community, clients and the support of my family this business wouldn't run. I once again thank you all for your support!

As most people know the last few weeks have been extremely difficult for the business. My partner being in hospital with heart issues, navigating the third trimester of pregnancy, our car being hit last week and still running a full time business. This has left us feeling stretched quite thin these past few weeks. We appreciate our clients support and understanding during this time. We are grateful to have such a supportive group of clients.

Over the past 6 months we've also had quite a struggle with our chronic health issues causing us to have a lot more time off sick than we usually need.

This year has definitely been a hard one running the business with a lot of highs and lows, especially being completely solo run. Each week consists of 20+ house cleans plus all the admin in our own time. With only roughly 10 weeks left of work we hope to finish out the year strong. Thanks to our clients and the community for your ongoing support!

Hi everyone

I don't like to involve my personal life with business but sometimes it does impact the business especially being solo run. Unfortunately my partner is not very well and in hospital with significant heart issues. The plan is to try and work as normal this week but I do ask for clients understanding if I do need to be at the hospital instead as it is a time with a lot of uncertainty. Running the business is very important but family does come first.

Apprentice incoming!

As mentioned in our email to clients this morning, we have a little boy arriving in December. We will likely be closing earlier than expected this year but will keep our clients updated. From his arrival we will be taking 6 weeks leave to soak up the newborn stage and then return to work late January/early February fulltime.

CHRISTMAS BREAK!

The end of the year is fast approaching which means our Christmas break is near. Typically we only take a 2 week break over the Christmas and New Year period but this year we are having an extended break to spend time with family.

As planned we will be finishing up on Friday the week before Christmas and will be having leave all of January. This will be roughly 6 weeks of leave with dates confirmed soon and it will be emailed out to clients. Thanks all!
